Manufacturers must supply safety documentation, include appropriate labels, and sometimes obtain a permit for higher‑power units. Operators are required to follow operating procedures that limit accidental exposure to the eye, skin, or armpits, and to provide training if the laser poses a risk beyond the basic laser class.
Consumers buying consumer laser products, such as laser pointers or gaming peripherals, must check that the
